Real-time fiber tractography consists in achieving the computation and simultaneous display of fiber tracts. By doing so, this permits the user to interactively tweak any parameters involved in the tracking process and therefore see the effect of each adjustement made on the resulting fibers. For neurosurgical planning, this feature is crucial since giving a pre-computed set of tracts in the hands of neurosurgeon can hide important information, which could have been explored and tuned in real-time.
